Did I miss something?

it's shadow, you should already know that he's speach patern is chaotic

Well, that's true lol.

So, how goes Frankenstein?

the child was killed and the young girl was framed

Justine, yeah. Poor thing. Did the trial happen yet?

not yet, starting that next chapter

Oh okay.

When do you have to finish it?

in 2 weeks

Oh okay. You've got time.

So, what else?

laundry day...

Verily, we must pity poor Payne.

Just think: waiting for your laundry will give you plenty of time to catch up on your reading. *stare*

Doesnt having a "laundry day" just mean that you were to lazy to do your laundry before it piled up to the point of it taking an entire day?

Pretty much.

How long does it take to gather that much?


My family of six takes 3-4 days to get that much

Well, yeah. Like I said, I'd been looking forward to graduating so much that they could have dumped a bucket of pig's blood on me and I still would have been over the moon.

  how was that not meant to be a Carrie reference !? .. okay I get that the iconic scene was during a Prom Night but Graduation Night is close enough :0 And also the mention of "Pig's" blood, that was a clear link to the movie(s)

The Classic Version

I guess it depends on how many people he's living with. :0

I've never seen Carrie lol.

you've read Frankenstein and not Carrie :o

well if you don't plan to watch the movies, then just watch the clips above cause they'll be spoilers :/

Lol. I've never seen the movie of Frankenstein, at least. Mostly since it lacks the subtlety and pathos of the book. As for Carrie, well, it just never seemed that interesting

I really liked Storm of the Century, The Shining, and Desperation. Rose Red is pretty good too.

.... I've only heard/watched of The Shining from that list   : D

Girl is bullied at school, Classmates (except one and the homeroom teacher) plays a mean prank on her. She tries her best but in the end the bottle bursts and she let loose her psychic powers in retaliation... also her mom being a religious nut is no help

I think I've watched the Frankenstein movie ... though not entirely sure. I've read the abridged book as that was the only one available at the school library when I was 10 or so. Tried the original when I got it (still have it in our home library) but by that time I had lost interest in reading or it just didn't click with me as the Longman's version probably ruined the experience.. same with Dracula (at least that one we were forced to read for English comprehension class)

They're all Stephen King. Is Carrie the only Stephen King you know?

Hey, Payne, are you just going to lurk there like a creeper all day?

I'm good at lurking.

but no, I'm about to head to town actually.

I see...

I didn't go for Stephen king but came across the titles individually.
I'm one of those who watch a movie for the movie and not because they are from a certain director.. if that makes sense :/
